Today we will explain how to install the t72 model car stereo on the Volkswagen Golf 6. We start the replacement by removing the frame of the previous car stereo using a plastic tool to remove it and then using a Torx key to unscrew the four side screws.

We extract the car stereo and disconnect the antenna cable and connector by pressing on the safety lever.

We connect the adapter to the AFM antenna to improve signal reception. After fixing the antenna with the four GE connected USB ports, we connect the connector to the new radio.

We also connect the antenna and GPS cables and then insert the radio into the slot. We screw in the four screws and mount the outer cover.

Once the car stereo is turned on, we go to the settings menu to select the FACTORY option, enter the password, and select the model to set the canvas profile.
